Anecdotes


Mishaps

• Linda Ronstadt has sung some operetta and opera. For example, she has sung the role of Mabel in Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. Doing this was hard work because she wasn't used to acting while singing. For example, during rehearsals she sometimes did not understand where to walk. A few times, at the end of a song in rehearsal she found herself standing in the place marked off for the orchestra pit. And co-star Kevin Kline once pointed out to her during a rehearsal, "This is Gilbert and Sullivan, Linda - you can't say, 'Git!'" She also worked in La Bohème with some other people who were new to opera. One musician even was heard asking during an early rehearsal, "Isn't there any dialogue in this show?"


• Chris Martin of Coldplay occasionally tries to cook, but maybe he shouldn't. Once he tried to cook fish and peas, but he forgot to turn on the vent. His fire alarm went off, and since it is connected to the fire station, a fire engine quickly arrived. He was forced to tell the firefighters, "I'm sorry. There's no fire." A couple of months later, he again tried to cook, and again he forgot to turn on the vent. Again, the fire engine arrived, and again, Mr. Martin said, "I'm sorry. There's no fire." He was shaken and decided to get out of his home for a while. The fire engine happened to be going in his direction, so the firefighters asked, "Do you want a lift?" Mr. Martin says, "I got to have a ride in a fire engine. How cool is that?"


• When the German soprano Erna Sack prepared to perform Gilda in Rigoletto in Chicago, debuting there on November 16, 1935, she made herself unpopular. She was unable to converse in any language but German, and the American baritone John Charles Thomas asked tenor Joseph Barton, aka Giuseppe Bentonelli, loudly during the final rehearsal, "What in the … is she jabbering at me?" Despite the rehearsals, her performance was a disaster. During her first performance, she decided suddenly to sing her part an octave higher than was written and to sing all phrases fortissimo. No one had praise for her after her debut, and she left the windy city the next day and never sang there again.


• The Beastie Boys' second album, Paul's Boutique, contained a song titled "Egg Man." The song came from a leisure activity they and their friends engaged in. The Beastie Boys would throw eggs at people from their 9th-floor rooms at the Mondrian Hotel. Of course, people complained, and the hotel managers send them a very diplomatic note: "We've had some reports of things falling out of your window. If there's a problem with your window, please let us know." The Beastie Boys and their friends stopped throwing eggs at people from the windows of the Mondrian Hotel; instead, they drove around in cars and threw eggs at people.


• Before George Cehanovsky started singing with the Metropolitan Opera, he sang the title role in Eugene Onegin. During the scene where he was supposed to shoot and kill the poet Lensky in a duel, his gun would not fire. (Later, he discovered that he and the singer playing Lensky had picked up the wrong guns - the singer playing Lensky had the gun with the blank in it.) The singer playing Lensky decided to fall over "dead" anyway, and when he hit the floor, the blank in his gun went off. Mr. Cehanovsky asked Eugene's second, "Is he killed?" The second replied, "He died of a heart attack."

Trivia Question from Yesterday


Formerly the British Crown Colony of Basutoland, this nation is one of only three independent states completely surrounded by the territory of another country. What is the name of this enclaved nation?


       Lesotho                                                      Source


Lesotho, officially the Kingdom of Lesotho (Sotho: 'Muso oa Lesotho), is an enclaved country within the border of South Africa. Along with the Vatican City and San Marino, it is one of only three independent states completely surrounded by the territory of another country, and the only one outside the Italian peninsula or that is not a microstate. Lesotho is just over 30,000 km2 (11,583 sq mi) and has a population of around 2 million. Its capital and largest city is Maseru. The official language is Sesotho.

Lesotho was previously the British Crown Colony of Basutoland, but it declared independence from the United Kingdom on 4 October 1966. It is now a fully sovereign state and is a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the African Union, and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The name Lesotho roughly translates to "the land of the people who speak Sesotho".        Source

   Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa. The other 2 enclaved nations are San Marino and Vatican City, both surrounded by Italy. Other landlocked nations share borders with more than one neighboring state.

Cal in Vermont wrote:
   Lesotho. For centuries, nations in Africa and around the world became possessions of other nations who exploited their resources and enslaved their populations for the greater good of God and Country. In the mid-20th century the cumulative debt of such behavior (or behaviour if you will) led to restiveness around the world. A game of musical countries began amid debate or shooting or both, leaving all of us in the mess we are in to this day.

Warns Campaign

BMI

We finally might have heard the last of the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at President Donald Trump (R-Failure)'s campaign rallies, which was played as his walk-off theme at Saturday's sparsely attended rally in Tulsa, OK.

The Stones first objected to Trump's use of the song during the 2016 presidential campaign, but he has continued to use it without their permission. Now he's been put on notice by BMI - the giant publishing rights organization - that there might be legal consequences if he persists.

BMI informed the Trump campaign this week that the unauthorized use of the song will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement. "The Trump campaign has a Political Entities License which authorizes the public performance of more than 15 million musical works in BMI's repertoire wherever campaign events occur," a BMI spokesperson told Deadline. "There is a provision, however, that allows BMI to exclude musical works from the license if a songwriter or publisher objects to its use by a campaign. BMI has received such an objection and sent a letter notifying the Trump campaign that the Rolling Stones' works have been removed from the campaign license, and advising the campaign that any future use of these musical compositions will be in breach of its license agreement with BMI."

A spokesperson for ABKCO, the song's publisher, told Deadline that it had "teamed up" with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to ask BMI to tell the Trump campaign to stop using their classic 1969 song at the president's rallies.

BMI's Music License for Political Entities or Organizations (read it here) states that "a specific work may be excluded from the license if notice is received from a BMI songwriter or publisher objecting to the use of their copyrighted work for the intended use by licensee."

Top Prizes

Daytime Emmys

CBS' The Young And The Restless was named Outstanding Drama at the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards tonight, with exec producer Anthony Morina calling the trophy "bittersweet" due to the deaths of three colleagues this year: Lee Bell, co-creator of the soap; longtime cast member Kristoff St. John; and Lisa de Cazotte, supervising producer.

Jeopardy's Alex Trebek won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host. "I'll be honest with you this one is a shock, very surprising to me," Trebek said in accepting his win, adding, "Speaking as one who has now been nominated 32 times and won 7 times, I think I can say with some degree of authority that winning is nicer."

Ellen DeGeneres, accepting the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show for her self-titled syndicated program, pledged to use the next couple years of her contract "to amplify the voices of black people and people of color" on her show.

NBC's Today Show won the Emmy for Outstanding Morning Show. Kelly Clarkson took the award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host.

In all, CBS won 15 awards, ABC 5, NBC 4, HBO 3 and Amazon Prime Video 2, with 11 syndicated winners.

Stepping Down From 'Cleveland Brown' Role

Mike Henry

Voice actor Mike Henry said Friday on Twitter that he no longer will voice the Cleveland Brown character on Fox's animated Family Guy.

Henry, who is white, has voiced the African-American Brown since the show's inception in 1999. He also voiced the character and his son, Rallo Tubbs, on the spinoff, The Cleveland Show, which ran for four years on Fox.

Henry was a voice on Family Guy since its 1999 debut. He also voiced Latina maid Consuela on the animated series.

"It's been an honor to play Cleveland on Family Guy for 20 years. I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role," Henry wrote.

AI Robot

'Erica'

Robots are likely to replace a lot of jobs in the future, but these roles are generally well-suited to automation. For some jobs - particularly creative professions - it'll be much harder to simply swap in a digital employee. But as a forthcoming feature film proves, it won't be impossible. According to Hollywood Reporter, science-fiction movie b will be the first to rely on an artificially intelligent actor.

Meet Erica (pictured above), a humanoid robot that will take center stage in Life Productions' $70 million picture, which tells the tale of a scientist tasked with creating perfect human DNA. Inevitably, things go wrong and his creation, Erica, is forced to flee the lab with his help. The story aligns well with Erica's real-world origin story - her creators, Japanese scientists Hiroshi Ishiguro and Kohei Ogawa - designed her to study human-computer interaction, with Ishiguro even creating an android version of his own daughter in the past.

Erica was originally meant to make her silver screen debut in another film, slated for direction by American History X's Tony Kaye, but scheduling conflicts meant the project was dropped. As yet there's no director attached to b, nor have there been any human co-stars announced, but the producers already have some footage under their belts. They anticipate the rest will be shot in June 2021.

This isn't the first time movie studios have gotten creative with their casting. Carrie Fisher made an appearance in The Rise of Skywalker thanks to some pretty advanced VFX, while the forthcoming Finding Jack posthumously cast James Dean in a major supporting role thanks to CGI. As much of Hollywood is in limbo due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Erica demonstrates that its superstars can probably be replaced more easily than it thought.

Issues Rule

Betsy

The Trump administration on Thursday moved forward with a policy ordering public schools across the U.S. to share coronavirus relief funding with private schools at a higher rate than federal law typically requires.

Under a new rule issued by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos (R-Vacuous But Vicious), school districts are ordered to set aside a portion of their aid for private schools using a formula based on the total number of private school students in the district.

The policy has been contested by public school officials who say the funding should be shared based on the number of low-income students at local private schools rather than their total enrollments. That's how funding is shared with private schools under other federal rules that Congress referenced in the legislation creating the relief aid.

But DeVos on Thursday said the funding is separate from other federal aid and was meant to support all students.

The difference between the two formulas amounts to tens of millions of dollars. In Louisiana, for example, private schools are estimated to get at least 267% more under DeVos' formula. In the state's Orleans Parish, at least 77% of its relief allotment would end up going to private schools.

"for the love of god ... "

Michigan

The daughter of a Republican state representative candidate in Michigan has urged residents not to vote for her father in a tweet that has gone viral.

The post from Stephanie Regan, which has received more than 37,000 retweets since it was posted on Tuesday, urges anyone who is 18 or above not to vote for her father Robert Regan.

"If you're in Michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep tell everyone," the tweet reads.

In a number of follow up tweets the day after Ms Regan said she did not feel "safe" publicising aspects of her father's "beliefs" but urged people to do their own research.

"Do a quick fb or google search to find info about his campaign," she said. "I don't feel safe rn sharing further information regarding his beliefs, but please look him up and just read for yourself."

Heatwave

Siberia

The northernmost town in the Arctic, Verkhoyansk is one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth and regularly records some of the world's lowest temperatures.

However, this week it made headlines when it reached a sweltering 38C, the highest temperature since records began 150 years ago.

Locals are used to swinging between extreme temperatures, with summers regularly reaching 30C, but this was something different, said Ayta Baisheva, who works on one of the region's many reindeer farms, about 250 kilometers south of Verkhoyansk.

"We have seen a freaky heatwave. It's really hard for us to bear this heat," said Ms Baisheva who recently returned from the north of Yakutia, close to Verkhoyansk, where her husband and son are now tending to reindeer.

"The reindeer herders were the first to notice that something was wrong: reindeer started to feel unwell. They suffer from dehydration and don't want to eat. Deer fawns are getting weaker."

Learning Tool-Use From Their Friends

Dolphins

The Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins of Shark Bay in Western Australia have an unusual way of obtaining food.

They chivvy fish into a large, empty marine gastropod shell. Then they carry the shell and captured fish up to the surface, and shake it upside down. Slurp! go the fish, straight down into the dolphin's belly.

It's called shelling, only the second tool use documented among dolphins - and the first that dolphins have been seen learning from their friends, just like great apes.

"This is an important milestone," said evolutionary biologist Michael Krützen of the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

The dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) were first observed using tools over 20 years ago, slipping sea sponges over their beaks like a thimble to protect them as they foraged. This behaviour was called sponging, and it allows the dolphins to access food in deeper water channels than non-sponging dolphins.

Viking Settlement Unearthed

Iceland

Archaeologists have unearthed what may be the oldest Viking settlement in Iceland.

The ancient longhouse is thought to be a summer settlement built in the 800s, decades before seafaring refugees are supposed to have settled the island, and was hidden beneath a younger longhouse brimming with treasures, said archaeologist Bjarni Einarsson, who led the excavations.

Longhouses were large wooden halls, up to 250 feet (75 meters) long and 20 feet (6 meters) wide, covered with turf and thatch and used as communal habitations throughout the Norse lands during the Viking Age.

They were divided into rooms and could be shared by several families. Fires were built in stone hearths along the center, and farm animals could be stabled there to protect them from cold.

Both longhouses were found at Stöð, near the village and fjord of Stöðvarfjörður in the east of Iceland. The younger structure dates to around A.D. 874 - the commonly accepted date for Iceland's settlement by people, who, according to Icelandic lore, were escaping the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair. It contains one of the most valuable hoards of ornamental beads, silver and ancient coins ever found in Scandinavia, Einarsson said.
